With a smile at the original @UMforums, come in, have some tea, and tell us about your day!

I'm currently trying to print the heart gear hand crank for valentine: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:253934
Some of you might have seen my cry for help @UMforum. I've been using that feedback now to try to get it to work. We'll find out soon enough Otherwise I might open a topic here

Interesting, I have been thinking about printing that heart many times, but there were alway more urgent things in line.
Maybe now would be a good opportunity, while testing newly manufactured nozzles

I had a busy day at work. 3D-printing is really finding it's way into the University now days and I tend to end up in the center of attention all the time. That is fun of course, but it tends to adds on top of my normal tasks, which means my to-do-list is rather long now.
It is really exciting that people in general starts to recognize 3D-printing as something useful now though

Bweurk I don't like thea But I'll just join you guys at the table for a chat.

I've printed the non-cranked version of that about a year ago. Lots of work, but very rewarding when you show it to people. It does tend to be very "droppable" (as in: If you don't know how to hold it when moving the gears it has the tendency to jump out of your hands). So in that fashion I think the cranked variant might be better.

Was planning on ordering a spool of CF-XT20 at ColorFabb for my (hopefully) soon to arrive micro drone 3. How are the experiences with that material? Any best practices that you guys can share?

Damn, I just realized that I forgot to pick up the PVA-filament from the oven at work where it had been drying over night.
I hope it can take another 24 hours of drying at 80 C, it should be super dry by tomorrow
